Fav climbs....
Red Rocks (according to grade)
Ginger Cracks, 5.9 (far better than its neighbor, Crimson Chrysalis)
Hot Fudge Thursday, 5.9 (equally as good)
Froglands, 5.8 (crowded, but good climbing nonetheless)
The Great Red Book, 5.8 (stellar, but short)
Group Therapy, 5.7 (far superior to its neighbor, Tunnelvision)
Cat in the Hat, 5.6 (crowded, but it has some great climbing)
Yosemite
Nutcracker, 5.8
Royal Arches, 5.8 A0 (we did the 5.8 variation, good fun)
Munginella, 5.6 (great fun for 2 pitches)
Shaky- I'm with Brutus, Ginger is great. I personally feel it's probably one of the best climbs in RR for the grade. Fun stuff!

Of course, mostly I climb in the light of the day. As you become more accustomed to the feel of the rocks it becomes easier. But its fun to climb in the moonlight as well. :idea:
Don't worry it will happen for you too. :twisted:
So tell me what are your favorite classic climbs?

Well, your signature climb, Figures on a Landscape is a classic and one of my favorites. So are Such a Savage and Solid Gold on the South Astro Dome. As I posted earlier in this thread Irene's Arete in the Tetons, along with The Snaz and Caveat Emptor rank right up there. In the Gunks, Open Cockpit, Fat City, Matinee, Coexistence and many others would qualify. Actually, almost everything in its grade in the Gunks is a classic. In Touloumne, I guess Lucky Streaks would be my favorite classic climb.

Favorite hand crack of all time would have to be CHERRY CRACK in ZION. I also love Ashtar Command in Zion. And any line in Estes Park is a classic for me.
